PMP Practice Question 713 - People
A project manager is assigned to a project team midway through execution. Several dependencies are impacting the project, and the project manager feels the team is not adequately informed of the impacting changes. What should the project manager do first?
- A.Convene an impact analysis meeting.
- ✓ Correct B.Consult the communications management plan.
- C.Review the stakeholder register.
- D.Escalate the issue to the product owner.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When joining a project midway and finding the team is inadequately informed of dependency changes, the project manager should first consult the communications management plan. This plan defines how project communications are structured and implemented, revealing gaps in the current approach. Convening an impact analysis meeting (A) addresses one issue but not the systemic communication problem. Reviewing the stakeholder register (C) identifies who but not how. Escalating to the product owner (D) is premature.
